Membership and Extension Month
DG Carl Treleaven
Running the District ...
August is Membership and Extension Month. Everyone knows that member-ship is an issue in Rotary: we’ve had a membership problem for a number of years. Well, our membership problem isn’t necessarily what you think. You see, we are not having any problems re-cruiting people to be in Rotary, rather, we’re having a problem keeping people in Rotary.
Let me share some sobering statistics with you. Five years ago we had about 2,000 Rotarians in District 6950. Today we still have about 2,000 Rotarians in the district. However, over the interven-ing five years, we’ve brought in about 2,000 new Rotarians. Simple arithme-tic tells us that while we’ve brought in 2,000 people, we’ve lost about 2,000. We’ve literally turned over our mem-bership! For a very high percentage of our clubs, the same thing has been true. Some think it’s the economy, but the funny thing is the evidence shows that Rotary membership and the economy are inversely related.
Why should we worry about retention? For the same reason that any business worries about losing too many custom-
ers. If too many leave, the business/club might get a bad reputation. Our clubs are only so good as their reputations.
There are only three possible causes of the retention problem: 1) we’re select-ing the wrong people to be Rotarians; 2) we’re not integrating them effectively into our clubs; or 3) members are not happy with what the clubs are doing and are voting with their feet.
While membership is a club issue, we have a District Membership Committee to help each club. It is being led this year by PDG Keith Kurber from Dune-din North and Roger Lacy from Tarpon Springs. Both are extremely capable.
We have two membership related goals in the district this year: 1) increase overall membership by 60 (about one member/club); and 2) start one new club. How do we increase member-ship? One way and one way only – by solving the member turnover problem described above. Ultimately, member-ship is a club-level problem, but the dis-trict can help you address each of the three potential causes of the problem. Let’s look at each:
•Possible problem #1: wrong peopleWho should be a member of Rotary?
If you look at the Rotary constitution, the answer is very clear (see page two). Ask yourself honestly: is our club selecting the kind of people described in the RI constitution? Every successful business knows and carefully selects its custom-ers. Rotary’s customers are its members and this principle applies equally to Ro-tary clubs.
•Possible problem #2: poor integra-tion
Does our club do a good job of inte-grating new members? Having a good
program of integrating and mentoring new members is critical. The district may be able to help you with this.
•Possible problem #3: poor club “product”
Many may leave because they don’t think the club meets their needs. This is the most painful question to confront, but confront it we must. I’ve developed a set of Five Questions and have asked each club’s board to look carefully at them (see below). Addressing the Five Questions will help make your club more attractive to current and prospec-tive members.
Yes, membership is a critical issue for every Rotary club. The problem isn’t finding good people, it’s keeping them. Let’s all focus on the right things and I’m confident this will cease to be an issue, permitting all of us to focus on achieving the Object of Rotary as “A Global Net-work of Leaders Transforming Lives Both Near and Far.”
The Five Key Questions:Did the club have better meetings 1. and more interesting programs?Were better networking and men-2. toring opportunities created for members?Did the club raise more money, 3. both in terms of total dollars and per capita, and have a greater im-pact than before?Did the club spend more money 4. on community projects and the Rotary Foundation, both in terms of total dollars and per capita, than before?Did the club develop leaders who 5. can assume positions of greater responsibility within the club and at the district level?

As a Rotarian, you have a GIFT. Want to share it?
How many of you open a gift and find it is a box of candy? Don’t you normally hold out the box to the person seated next to you and allow them to choose a piece?
I know most of the 2000 members of this District and predict that most of you would respond this way. Why then are 90 per cent of you so reluctant to offer a much greater gift that you have to offer? That gift is membership in your Rotary Club. The only way someone can attain membership in a Rotary club is to be invited. Why then are so many of you reluctant to offer this gift?
It doesn’t cost you anything; most of the clubs offer for free at least the first meal for a prospective member. What a great way for you and your members to get to know the prospect and vice versa.
Is it because of the fear of rejection? Then simply offer the prospect to your membership committee. I know they
will be willing to take over for you! They know the “membership process” in in-viting, informing, inducting, orienting and mentoring the new member. They KNOW that your club cannot survive without putting forth much effort in this process. If you need further help, feel free to contact me! I love new members as witnessed by the number of years that I have been active in the membership ef-forts of this district.
Is it because most of you don’t know where to look for a prospect? Contact me and I will send you a list of 100 plac-es to look for new prospects.
How do you know if a prospect quali-fies for membership?
Simply read the “Object of Rotary” and compare it to the new member.
Do not harbor that fear because the prospect will usually eliminate them-selves, if they are not right for your club.
Do you feel that the new member’s are not being properly trained or mentored?
You have an OBLIGATION to discuss this with your club leadership if this is the case. I consider the common courte-
AUGUST IS MEMBERSHIP MONTH
sies that I offer a relative or visitor to my home, the same courtesies that need to be offered to new members in my club.
Be polite, interested, and involved with them. Ask the club to hold at least two social functions per year to involve the families also, Holiday party and a picnic for example. This helps the fami-lies understand the time and money as-pect of the ROTARY experience.
Last night I spent the evening at a Ro-tarians home for an information meeting being held prior to the first actual meet-ing of a brand new club. It is the tenth new Rotary club that I will be involved with in the last fifteen years. It is impos-sible to tell you all wonderful Rotarians I have known, mentored, trained and been involved with. My life has been so much richer because of these experi-ences and friendships. TRY IT, YOU’LL LIKE IT! Even if you only bring in one new member, you’re life will be richer.
And if you are interested in progress-ing further in district work, in particu-lar membership, please contact me at [email protected].
We will find a place for you!

It was June of 2010 and Brooksville Rotarian Judy Whitehead was about to present Seward, Alaska Rotarian Chief Tom Clemons with his first Paul Harris Fellowship Award. It was a gift to Chief Clemons as a way to thank him for his role in easing the grief and turmoil that was facing Brooksville Rotarian Jack Gavish’s family following his sudden death while vacationing in Alaska with his significant other, Valerie, two dogs and a very large motor home.
Jacks death was sudden and unex-pected. He had not been ill. Valerie did not know anyone in Alaska but she did what most people would do – she called home. Shortly after learning of Jack’s death, members of the Brooksville Rotary Club contacted the Seward Rota-ry Club. It was Rotarian Tom Clemons, Chief of the Seward Police Department, who went into action. He waived rules
and cut through government red tape. He made a very difficult, painful situa-tion bearable for Valerie who was alone and grieving. It is what Rotarians do for one another.
Judy knew she was going to be in Alaska to visit her niece in the sum-mer of 2010. Why not surprise Mr. Clemons and present him with his first Paul Harris Fellowship Award? Phones started ringing and e-mails were flying. Everyone in Chief Clemons office and the Seward Rotary Club knew about the award except Tom. He wasn’t planning on attending the meeting that day. New patrol cars were scheduled to arrive and he wanted to pick them up. Tom’s as-sistant informed him that the new patrol cars would not be ready until later in the week. It was the first of many lies that ensured Chief Tom Clemons was present to receive his special award!

— 4 —Claudette, Melissa, Theresa & Hope
On Thursday June 16, 2011, Pinel-las Park Rotary’s Program Chairperson, Theresa Pinnix, introduced Melissa R. Sharpsteen & Claudette Carlan. Melissa is a Senior Attorney at Sharpsteen Law and Claudette is Celma Mastry’s daugh-ter and President of the Celma Mastry Ovarian Cancer Foundation. In 2009, Melissa was in perfect health and on her way to participating in a Worldwide Competitive Kickboxing tournament. She was to travel to Australia, New Zea-land, Canada and England to compete. Six weeks prior to attaining this dream, she was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and her life suddenly changed. Melissa has since undergone surgery and che-motherapy.
There is no known cause for ovarian cancer, nor is there an accurate test to detect ovarian cancer. 50% of women who are diagnosed are under the age of 65. Studies have shown that the younger you are, the more likely you are to have an aggressive form of ovarian cancer. It is not the most common form of cancer for women so it is often overlooked and underreported. The five year survival rate is 45% and the 10 year survival rate is 25%. It is the 5th leading cause of can-cer and the number one cancer killer of women in America. This is why Melissa is so passionate about educating people about this deadly disease and urging women to be checked.
Please consider participating in the 2nd Annual 5K event that will be held on September 24, 2011. For more in-formation, please visit The Celma Mastry Ovarian Cancer Foundation at www.cmocf.org.
The following information was taken from the web site: First and foremost, if detected at an
early stage, ovarian cancer is more treatable and 90% curable!
Ovarian cancer often begins in • the ovaries when cells multi-ply abnormally, forming tumors. Some tumors are benign (harm-less), while others are malignant
cancer. Several studies show that even early stage ovarian cancer can produce these symptoms.Women who have these symp-• toms almost daily for more than a few weeks should see their doctor, preferably a gynecologist. Prompt medical evaluation may lead to detection at the earliest possible stage of the disease. Early stage diagnosis is associated with an improved prognosis.Several other symptoms com-• monly reported by women with ovarian cancer include fatigue, indigestion, back pain, pain with intercourse, constipation, and menstrual irregularities. However, these other symptoms are not as useful in identifying ovarian can-cer because they are also found in equal frequency in women in the general population who do not have ovarian cancer.ADDITIONAL symptoms may • be subtle, such as an increased waistline, persistent indigestion that has no apparent cause and does not respond to medicine, unexplained weight loss or gain, changes in bowel habits, and gas-trointestinal upsets such as gas, nausea, or indigestion. Discuss any changes with your doctor.
If you Suspect You have Ovarian Cancer
Insist on seeing your gynecolo-• gist right away. You will need a bi-manual exam, a CA-125 blood test or a trans-vaginal sonogram. Don’t hesitate!
(cancerous). Ovarian cancer may also begin in the tissue around or near the ovaries, called the peri-toneum, which has the same stem cell as the ovaries. Primary Peri-toneal Cancer (PPC) occurs when the ovaries have already been removed or are present but mini-mally involved. PPC accounts for about 20% of ovarian cancers.Ovarian cancer affects one in 69 • women. Recent statistics from the American Cancer Society show that ovarian cancer deaths have risen by close to 18% in the past few years.Fortunately, ovarian cancer is • treatable when caught early; how-ever, the vast majority of cases are not diagnosed until the disease has spread. Only 20% of ovarian cancer is caught early.
Symptoms of Ovarian CancerMany people believe there are no • symptoms for ovarian cancer but the Gynecologic Cancer Founda-tion, the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists, and the American Cancer Society formed a consen-sus statement released June 13, 2007:
Ovarian Cancer Symptoms Consen-sus Statement
Historically ovarian cancer was • called the “silent killer” because symptoms were not thought to develop until the chance of cure was poor. However, recent stud-ies have shown that the following symptoms are much more likely to occur in women with ovarian cancer than women in the general population:Bloating• Pelvic or abdominal pain• Difficulty eating or feeling full • quicklyUrinary symptoms (urgency or • frequency)Women with ovarian cancer re-• port that symptoms are persistent and represent a change from nor-mal. The frequency and/or num-ber of such symptoms are key factors in the diagnosis of ovarian

Just a few weeks ago an urgent e-mail went out to all of the Rotary Youth Ex-change (RYE) Districts in Florida asking for help in salvaging an exchange op-portunity.
A Brazilian student whose exchange was caught in some internal politics in her home District was in jeopardy as al-though this young person had followed all of the rules, her exchange was in danger of being cancelled at the District level in Brazil. Her application had been delayed and all the assignments in the USA had been completed.
Ordinarily that would be the end of this story, but because of a personal re-lationship that had developed between two Rotarians from different countries over the years, the Brazilian RYE District Chairman reached out to his friend Al Kalter, the Chair of the RYE Multi-Dis-trict in Florida. It was Al who initiated the urgent e-mail to all of the 8 RYE Dis-tricts in Florida asking if anyone could take an extra student, even though the District Chairs were processing their already assigned students. Just a few days before, an inquiry posted on the www.ryeflorida.org web site from a fam-ily in Lutz, Florida Mrs. Flowers stated they had been scheduled, gone through all of the background and other checks to host a student from another organi-zation, but that at the last minute a stu-dent could not be provided. The Flow-ers were ready and willing to accept a student from Brazil in just a few short weeks if Rotary could make it happen.
First, a local Rotary Club to act as a sponsor had to be found. After called the outgoing President of Land O’ Lakes Ro-tary, Curt Ziegler, who was packing up to go to Ohio to be with his daughter who is very ill, Curt gave me the contact info for the new President, Gary Wil-liams. As fortune would have it since this was just before the 4th of July week-end, Gary would be out on his boat for several days incommunicado.
Being a true Rotarian, Curt delayed leaving town and said “let’s work this out for the young lady in Brazil if we can.” He assumed that his club’s new Board of
Directors would support the club spon-soring this student since we already had a suitable host family. Unfortunately, when reviewing that besides agreeing to be a sponsor club, the $2,000.00 cost to sponsor an inbound student for a club with only 14 members was a huge com-mitment.
This is where Rotary Clubs working together comes in. Indian Rocks Beach Rotary had announced several times throughout the past year that they could not host a student, but would provide financial assistance to another club to host. I called the outgoing President of that club, Bruce Sobut, who stated that since there had not been any request during the normal time frame, the new President and Board probably had real-located those funds to other projects, but he said he would look into it and have the new President Mike Shultz, who as it turned out was also out of town for the holiday, call to let say whether there was anything the club could still do.
With that situation up in the air, Curt and I trusted it would work out and moved to the next obstacle. Could we get the high school to accept an exchange student when most were not accepting them due to budget cutbacks? However, we figured that since Land O’ Lakes Ro-tary gave out 2 scholarships to graduat-ing seniors and sponsored 2 Juniors to S4TL, while also sponsoring the Interact Club at Land O’Lakes High School, our student should get special dispensa-tion. After waiting an hour plus for a
Making Magic Happen as only Rotary can
last minute ap-pointment during a holiday week we finally got to see the assistant principal who, af-ter 30 minutes of small talk about what Rotary does as a partner with the school, it was agreed they would accept the young lady from Brazil. But after beginning the paperwork it was discovered the Flowers family,
whose children had gone to this school, were rezoned to the relatively new Sun Lake High School that had no Rotary Club interaction. When we contacted Sun Lake, they agreed to meet with us, but mentioned that due to budget cut-backs they were not taking exchange students. Fortunately, a receptionist had already notified Dr. Leahy that we were coming. As it turned out Dr. Leahy was a former Rotarian from the Holiday Rotary Club in Pasco County and had transferred just this year from Gulf High School where many RYE students had at-tended over the years. She took the pa-perwork, hand carried it through the sys-tem, obtained the principal’s signature and the school seal, which completed all that was necessary for the student in Brazil to get a student visa to be able to be an RYE student this year.
With that, Curt Ziegler was off to Ohio having done all he could do. I was back on the phone to see about raising the money and, fortunately, received a call from Mike Schulz who informed me that although the club had reallocated the $2,000 as was feared, they were able to still come up with $1,000 to help out. I then placed a call to a Kiran Kumar, a new member of my RYE District Com-mittee who was completing his term as President of Seven Springs Rotary. I wanted to see if he knew of any other clubs in Pasco County that might be able to help with all or part of the remaining

$1,000.00. Kiran quickly said he would go to his club and then the Pasco 6, which is the 6 Rotary Clubs on the west side of the county that had begun work-ing together on joint projects, but that, not to worry, he would get it worked out.
With all of the pieces of the puzzle figured out, now it was the time to let Biatriz Giacomini in Brazil know that her Rotary Youth Exchange was going to happen, and all because Rotary Clubs pulled together to make it happens for her.
Thanks to all who went above and beyond to bring this about. In just one more surprise ending to the story, when President Gary Williams returned to land and found out his club was sponsoring a Youth Exchange student, he immediate-ly called to have me be the next week‘s speaker to explain to the club members their responsibilities. At that meeting was new member and club secretary, Silvane Siqueira, a former RYE student from Brazil, who now has agreed to serve as the Youth Exchange Counselor a position necessary to fill in order for the club to host an exchange.
District Governor Carl Treleaven was so taken by this chain of events, where Rotarians rose up to save the day by work-ing together, he commented “It is times like these that show the true strength of Rotary and the people who are Rotar-ians, because anywhere along the way one small detail could have derailed the entire effort. But because every Rotarian involved cared enough to do their part, the mission was successful, and that is one more reason that I so am proud to be the 6950 District Governor this year. Our true strength is our members and Bless them for what they have done for Biatriz and the traditions of Rotary.”

The Rotary District 6950, South Ko-rea GSE Team is eagerly preparing for their trip in October. The team will be in Jeollanam-do province of South Ko-rea, District 3610 for approximately 30 days for both cultural and vocation ex-change opportunities. This district is on the southwest corner of the country and includes the beautiful coastline. Though this is a more rural district than the rest of in the country, there is a good mix of commerce, urban building and tradi-tional Korea lifestyles.
Team Leader Sukhwa Young is a com-mercial Realtor from the Rotary Club of Wesley Chapel and is helping his team-mates learn Korean for the trip. The team members consist of David Buczyn-ski (25) who is self-employed in profes-sional water treatment; Cheryl Cleveland (32) who is the CEO and head instructor of “Odessa Martial Arts”, a Non Profit martial art school in Odessa; Erin El-
Korean Gse teamlis (33) who is a project manager and architect for Hoffman Archi-tects P,A, in Tar-pon Springs; and John van Daalen (31) who is a chef at Watercolours Steakhouse & Grille at the Mar-riott Sand Key. Mike Fitzgerald, past president of the RC of Spring Hill Central, is the alternate team leader.
The team is meeting every Sunday to work on their presentations, brainstorm over gifts, learn Korean, and prepare for their individual vocational visits. Each member of the team has great help from the GSE Commitee and wants to do their best to represent District 6950 and is dil-igently working on sharing our informa-tion with South Korea. Already every-one in the team has established a special rapport, as if they had known each other for a lifetime. The team says kam sah hahb ni dah (thank you) and will con-tinue preparing for the trip.

Seminole Mayor, Jimmy Johnson, and the Rotary Club of Seminole Lake recently hosted Mary Hall, her mother Sherry and Grandfather, long-time civic activist, Hayward Hartman, at the regu-larly scheduled Club meeting at Free-dom Square.
Mary, 2011 athlete/scholar graduate of Seminole High, recounted how she made the decision to attend the Naval Academy at the beginning of her Junior year. She indicated that the applica-tion process is really three application processes: one to the Academy, one to her Congressman (Bill Young) and one to her Senator (George Lemieux). All three gave her face-to-face interviews. When she received the letters of recom-mendation from Congressman Young’s and Senator Lemieux’s office she knew that she would become one of the 1200 incoming Plebes at the Naval Academy. Although known as Midshipmen, Fresh-men are referred to as Plebes.
